One Word - FOCUS

Here it is : the word that has been on my heart for this year : FOCUS.

I had intended to add more words to my page, but realized that many of the words would need their own page, so I stuck to just adding the final sentence that summed my thoughts up : "Be ruthless in achieving well chosen objectives."




I did the bg in Artrage in very much the same way as I would in my studio, then I took it into CS3 and played with a few brushes (Thao Cosgrove) and added the type. I enjoy having the option of working in both programmes, between them they offer amazing versatility.

For the next card I stuck a feather on the card as the poem refers to a dropped feather. Not the right bird, but the thoughts counts I think! This card really 'made itself' as the saying goes.

Circus ATC

ATC and circus…to me the 2 together are a no brainer. ATC’s are so much fun to make and the imagery of the circus so rich that I suspect I could make a dozen cards at least and not get tired of them. Ildi Geist’s goodies again provided me with ample fodder for this one (products used are no longer available) Ildi has a great new Page Set coming out tomorrow. I feel an ATC coming on!!!
